Jupyter notebooks in 2024 is still not accessible.

In his talk, Venkatesh Potluri (who is blind) noted that popular Python libraries like matplotlib etc still can't embed alt text.

He made a patch for it, but the notebooks still don't pick up alt text.

I felt inspired about Python typing after watching
Piper Thunstrom's talk at this morning.

On her talk, she mentioned typing.Union as one of the useful typing features.

I've used typing.Union on the version of Python before the | symbol was introduced. As you can imagine, it is the source for the typo of the day "from typing import Onion".

One of the stories shared by Ian Zelikman in his talk, The Stories of the most Infamous Bugs:
The underlying bug in the Mars Climate Orbiter boils down to the difference in measuring unit used by Lockheed Martin (metric) and NASA (imperial)

I empathize πŸ₯Ή
